A lot of it is due to Miss Dorothy Van Driel who has been on the EHS staH for three years teaching general business, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Adding interest to her regular classes this year has been the successful basket- ball.and football season. Probably the most interesting two weeks of the year was Christmas vacation when she went to Chicago to attend the National Business Teacher's Association Convention. While in the East, she visited her sister in Milwaukee. Tall, blond, blue-eyed Mr. Keith Bloom joined the Evanston High School faculty in the fall of 1951 to coach the Bed Devils A and B squads and assist Mr. Talboom with the football squad. In addition to the long hours he spends on these activities, he teaches regular classes in physical education, ninth grade social studies and problems of democracy. Mr. Bloom is very modest about his career as a professional baseball player. He spent one year play- ing for the Canadian-American League, and one year for the Southwest International League in Arizona. ' The Latin, Spanish, and ninth grade English teacher is short, dark-haired Miss Lois Michelstetter.

Seventh and eighth grade English, assist- ant supervisor of the Spotlight, and the dramatics. Miss Ellis spent the summer attending the University of Wyomingf The things she especially enjoyed this year were the beautiful autumn, the peaceful atmosphere that occasionally permeates her classrooms, and the friendly associations with her fellow-teachers. - Mr. Arthur Maurer has discovered that his membership on the EHS faculty requires an aptitude for a variety of activity channels. In the fall his scouting the Wyoming football teams was a potential factor in producing a championshipfteam. In the winter season he assisted in the coaching of the B basketball squad. Guidance work is foremost on his calendar. He also has regular classes in world history, drivers' training, and science and health. Mr. Maurer has shown outstand- ing interest toward improvements of the school and pupil status. Teaching Eve classes of mathematics, or shall we say arithmetic, in the Junior High is a Hve days' headache for friendly Miss Adeline Miller.

Last summer she attended school at the University of Wyoming for Hve weeks. The rest.of the summer she spent with her mother in Minature, Nebraska. Among her many hobbies are sewing, reading and listening to music.
